Cut the square fish cake into thin, long strips at 1cm intervals for even, attractive presentation.
Place the sliced fish cake in a colander and pour hot water over it, soaking for about 30 seconds to remove surface oil.
Immediately rinse the blanched fish cake under cold water to cool it down, then wash again with cold water and thoroughly dry by shaking off excess moisture.
Select only the white part of the scallion (about 10cm), which has less juice and a cleaner, fresher flavor, and finely chop it.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon fermented soy sauce, 1 tablespoon anchovy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon red pepper powder, and 3 tablespoons maltose. Mix well to create the dressing.
Add the fully dried fish cake and chopped scallion white parts to the dressing. Gently toss until the seasoning is evenly distributed without clumping.
Finally, add 2 tablespoons sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, and gently mix once more to finish.
Slice fish cake thinly, blanch in hot water for 30 seconds, then quickly rinse under cold water and dry completely.
Mix fermented soy sauce, anchovy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, red pepper powder, and maltose to make a spicy-sweet dressing.
Toss the fish cake and scallion with the dressing, then add sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil and mix lightly to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
Do not soak the fish cake in hot water for too long—over 30 seconds will wash away its signature savory umami flavor.
Rinse immediately with cold water after blanching to prevent the fish cake from softening and to preserve its chewy, bouncy texture.
For best results, use only the white part of the scallion, as it has less juice and delivers a cleaner, crisper flavor compared to the green leaves.
